Today I am mostly sore….mostly
the hands of a 35 year old waiter
I have the hands of an arthritic pensioner.
I have a pain in my back that only a coal miner could appreciate.
My feet are glowing angry and don't smell very pretty either.
There was a minor case of chef's arse too which caused me to walk like a duck for an hour
and I have piles...............
of money. Black Friday, hurts but pays...









Yikes! I was just thinking about you and wondering how you got on! Glad it paid off… hope to hear the stories soon!
Jaysus Manuel – Just saw your sidebar for WTWK and saw the post about the Breaffy hotel. We were there a few weeks ago and I reviewed it – it was tragic and I’m so glad the health inspectors copped on. Was like dining in a retirement home. *COUGH COUGH*
Got a christmas lunch at The Basement yesterday. Not bad at all I have to say. More leg room than a first class seat on british airways which was surprising.
Should I get you a form for DLA? I know people…
Poor Manuel. You need a good soak and a rest.
Glad your pockets are bulging.
chef’s arse? TOO MUCH INFORMATION.
I’m shocked to hear about your hands Manuel. How come they got like that?
We had our office Christmas lunch yesterday at the Tap Room in Hilden. We had a rather rude waitress who claimed we had changed our orders from what we had asked for in advance and got huffy when we complained two of the wine glasses weren’t clean. The starters and desserts were good but the main course was bland and overcooked – and what they claimed was champ was just plain mashed potato. Not impressed.
Poor guy. I hope you have time to take a bath and/or talk LMM into giving a backrub. Gotta love those days that make you hurt. Hope the pile of cash made it worth it.
I’m having a hard time sympathizing! Your case of rank ass and moldy feet doesn’t compare to the gravy smashed in my ears and the croutons in my bra that made their way under my tits…
Did your hands get that way from counting all of your hard earned tips?
Woot! To Christmas Cash for Manuel.
Hope you’re not too tired to spend it.
So, you have lots of cash then?
Are you saying that the calvinist ethic works then?
Well, as long as you are happy, even if you do have chef’s arse…
I work in a venue and we had our own Black Friday yesterday. I’ve got the back ache, the foot ache and various other aches. But I’ve got no money. Am very jealous.
I had Christmas lunch in Aldens on Thursday, food was excellent and the sevice even better. I wasn’t picking up the tab so don’t know how much of a tip was left but I hope the waiters had a golden day.
Had the best chinese meal of my life in the Red Panda in Great Victoria Street and also this week I dined in the Crown Dining Room, by the time Christmas comes I will be too fat to get out of bed!
Hope your aches subside fast and that the gold keeps coming your way x

Hmmm, our lot got a case of the squirts after the works dinner……do you waiters ever wash your hands?
Rubbing them on your apron does not constitute good hygeine.
Owie! Glad you have piles to compensate for it.
